The emergency closure is also announced on the special education needs school's website. 

The academy provides updates to parents and if it needs to remain closed on Monday or for a longer period it will be communicating with them directly

This comes after Larkrise Primary School in Oxford's Boundary Brook Road and Wykham Park Academy in Banbury were both closed last week.

Orion Academy was established in 2020 before moving into a new building in September 2021.
